DREAMSCAPE, from St John's Grammar School (Australia, 2023), is a short film that examines anxiety, disclosure, friendship, inclusion and mental health through shifting viewpoints. Rather than offering a single answer, it opens space to reflect on how perception, prejudice, stereotypes and stigma shape young people's lives. Its nod to school and teenage themes makes it a natural fit for the Focus on Ability festival, which celebrates the abilities, achievements and perspectives of people with disability. The film asks audiences to listen and look again, and encourages honest conversation about mental illness and the value of small acts of support.
